OVERVIEW

Singita Sweni main lodge pool

Singita Sweni Lodge is nestled beautifully amongst hundreds of trees at the edge of the Sweni River, in the dramatic landscape of the eastern Kruger National Park. Resting lightly upon the ground within a 33,000 acre, private concession in the Kruger National Park, this intimate, romantic lodge accommodates only 16 guests in seven stunning riverside suites, each elevated on stilts and tucked away among lush trees. The Lodge’s architecture was inspired by the structures of dens and lairs found in the area. The floor-to-ceiling glass creates a seamless flow between the landscape and the interior, where nature is masterfully echoed in the décor’s palette and textures.

Indulge in the luxurious health spa, offering everything from the more conventional European massages to Ayurveda and acupuncture, reflexology and aromatherapy. For those who enjoy food and wine, Singita is also a unique culinary experience and has a comprehensive wine cellar. Your skilled sommelier will happily match wines to a tasting menu for you. Guest of Singita Sweni Lodge are treated to up-close sightings of the incredible number of animals and birds that wander down to drink or wallow in the river.

ROOMS

An intimate hideaway hosting 7 suites; with decks that seem to hover in the branches and bold interiors that are inspired by beetles, chameleons and birds’ wings, and  neutrals that draw in the light. Each of the lodge’s contemporary en-suite units have been restructured to maximize open-plan living with panoramic game-viewing decks.  All suites have outdoor showers that overlook the river, and outdoor day beds where you can spend a night under the stars. With its close-proximity to the Sweni River, guests are treated to exceptional up-close sightings of the wildlife that wander down to drink or wallow.

The Pool Suite with the unique inclusion of a private swimming pool and shaded riverfront deck can be connected to the adjacent unit to create a more generous unit with two en-suite bedrooms, offering guests an extra layer of privacy – perfect for families and honeymoon couples.
